Attendees at the live auction portion of the PPACH Celebration on January 15 at Imaging USA are in for a riveting ride when bidding begins on “The Deadman’s Hand,” Richard Sturdevant’s exceptional artwork, printed by BWC Photo Imaging. With a value set by the artist of $3,500, it’s possible that Celebration attendees will see that figure surpassed, given the accolades that Garland, Texas, photographer Sturdevant has received of late: He has not only engaged an eager following of collectors of his remarkable interpretive images and richly layered composites, he has consistently wowed PPA-approved jurors in national and district competitions. At this year’s Southwest PPA district print judging, all four of his electronic imaging entries received perfect scores of 100. “The Deadman’s Hand” is one of those extraordinary images.

According to an article that appeared in the December 2010 issue of The Professional Photographer magazine, it is believed that no other photographer has ever achieved four perfect scores at a PPA judging. If you haven’t read the article about Richards singular accomplishment, you can find it on page 98 of the current magazine issue. See more images and learn about his multi-faceted business at sturdevantstudio.com.

The beautifully framed canvas is 40 inches wide, and BWC President/CEO Lou George has generously offered to pay for shipping to the home of the lucky winner.

The Charities Celebration begins at 9:00 P.M. on January 15, the eve of Imaging USA, and the live auction will begin soon thereafter.
